Campaigning alongside Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday, state Sen. Tom McClintock paused and stated the obvious: "Now, you all know I ran against this governor in the recall."

On Tuesday, during an appearance here to promote the Nov. 8 special election, the governor called the senator a "terrific, terrific partner of mine."
